Invader ZIM Best of World Domination
WORLD DOMINATION. That's the goal for ZIM, the Irken invader stationed on Earth. But even an Irken as talented, beloved, and humble as ZIM occasionally has trouble getting his plans off the ground. It's those stupid humans. And especially the stupidest human of all, Dib. Explore four hysterical stories of ZIM's greatest plots to take over the world. Whether he's disguising himself as a hot new artiste, making double-crossing deals with pants aliens, or getting too distracted by TV to unleash his greatest and most terrifying creation, ZIM always has a plan. And it's definitely not his fault if it goes wrong.

The collection comes out on October 6th. I got an advanced reader copy from Oni-Lion Forge Publishing. (If you’re already a fan of this comic series, spoiler alert: these stories were already presented in issues #3, #8, #18, and #20.)
I hadn’t read any Invader Zim comics before, but I did watch the old cartoon. A familiarity with the characters and style of humor might make this an easier read, but it’s not entirely necessary. If you like absurd scenarios and outlandish egotistical aliens, you shouldn’t have any problems jumping right in.
There are four stories included: Star Donkey, Pants!, Burrito King, and Floopsy Bloops Shmoopsy.
“Star Donkey” has Zim playing the part of a pretentious artist, whose latest installation (at the Museum of Natural History Museum) is really a cover to take over Earth. In “Pants!,” Zim has invited some aliens to come to Earth and zombify all the humans. Dib and Zim face off in an inevitable Pants Pants Revolution battle. “Burrito King” sees the return of The Tallest, the overlords Zim is always trying to impress. When Zim sees that another invader is getting recognized for his achievements, he sets out to conquer something he thinks will be an easy win: the local burrito restaurant. “Floopsy Bloops Shmoopsy” mocks the laziness of good, long TV binge. Zim creates a “conquer blob” to subjugate the human race for him, and then starts watching cartoons with Gir while the blob does the work.
Check out the new Invader Zim compilation, “World Domination,” wherever you get all your fave comics.

This is a collection of four of the Invader Zim comics by Oni Press, specifically #3, #8, #18, and #20. If these are legitimately the ONLY stories that interest you, then this omnibus is PERFECT for you! If you want ALL the stories, though, you would be better off getting the main collection series, which is the sequential run rather than stories sharing a specific theme. Also, the main collections include an art section with the alternate covers *I think* (but am too lazy at the moment to dig them out of the comic box to see).
The stories themselves are pretty classic Zim, such that I wouldn't be surprised if these were storyboards for unused episodes. I like the stories where Zim actually tries out of all the stories (vs. ones where Zim just screws with Dib or does some completely random thing with GIR), so this isn't a bad collection at all! I just, you know, already have these stories in the other volumes.
Recommended for completionists, or anyone who likes the "world domination" stories best.
